Hi Sam,

Awesome - I was just about to start hacking on the apt-cache code to
do this and found you'd beaten me to it! :-)

Apt maintainers - I need this fixed to allow me to fix #687949 in
debian-cd, which is a serious bug affecting wheezy builds right
now. Could you please prepare a build for upload with this patch
added? If there's a worry about maybe breaking other users, maybe keep
existing behaviour by default and add a "-v" or "--with-versions"
flag to get the versions included?
